There are plenty of things to do in the capital of Scandinavia. Plan a visit to one of the many museums of the city. Visit the Vasa Museum, see the war ship Vasa that sank in 1628, after sailing less than a mile on its maiden voyage. Find the thrilling exhibitions in The National Museum of Science and Technology. The Historical Museum of Wine and Spirits is a particular place where you can test 55 different vodka and liquor spices.

Skansen is the world’s oldest open-air museum, where you can visit the popular Skansen Zoo. Discover (more...) the Royal Palace, the official residence of His Majesty the King, Carl XVI Gustaf.

Stockholm is known as a leading design center, so there are lots of interesting small shops and designer boutiques mixed with larger shopping areas like NK, Åhléns or Sturegallerian. The shopping in Stockholm is divided in three distinct areas; the City, Södermalm and Östermalm.

The moderate climate, with mild temperatures in both winter and summer, gives temperatures ranging from about -7C to 2C (19F to 36F) in winter and between 20C to 25C ( 68F and 77F) in summer. In winter, frozen tourists can defrost in the popular and historical Sturebadet in the city center that has been opened since 1885. In summer, visitors can have coffee and relax and watch people walk by from one of the sunny terraces or enjoy themselves in Gröna Lund amusement park. Stockholm is a popular all-year-round city destination that always has something new to offer the tourists.

The best option to see the city is to get The Stockholm Card that allows 24 hour access to the public transportation system, such as Stockholm Metro and ferries. The card also includes free entrance to almost all of the city’s attractions.
